Best of Luxembourg - Weekend

Luxembourg is only a 3.5 hour drive from the middle of the Netherlands. Officially, the Grand Duchy is known to most of us for the Mill Man Trail, ridden annually by the famous Müllerthal. The Müllerthal Trail was recently declared Europe's most beautiful hiking trail and that also applies to the MTB trails in our opinion. Sounds interesting already? Luxembourg has so much more to offer!

During the Best of Luxembourg weekend you will get to know two different regions. Firstly Red Rocks These trails are located in the south of Luxembourg around the old mining area which has changed the landscape into a challenging environment for mountain bikers. The iron-rich soil and the high cliffs make you feel like you are in the American Utah. Our guide has over 20 years of experience in the Red Rocks and knows exactly where to find the most beautiful single tracks and challenging Trail Features. Drops, Rocks, Bike park elements, single tracks over sharp ridges ... a MTB playground that will leave the necessary impression.

The Mullerthal. This area is characterized by bizarre rocks, enormous gorges, mossy forests and picturesque stream valleys. Mullerthal is popularly known as Little Switzerland called. Technical and especially natural trails in abundance. Led by the guide, the most beautiful paths are taken with the necessary technical challenges.

Best of Luxembourg is two full days plus an evening of adventure with our guide. Challenging trails alternating with beautiful views you will enjoy the diversity that Luxembourg has to offer.

Level: Advanced, you are already experienced on the mountainbike. Dutch courses are no problem for you and you can bridge about 30-50km with 900hm every day.

After a good breakfast, you will dive into the industrial past of Luxembourg today. The land of red rocks, or the famous Red Rock Trails are on the program. “Little Utah” it is also called and we will definitely visit the natural bike park of “Little Utah” today.

We mainly ride natural single tracks alternating with parts of different measured routes and areas with bike park-like elements. Count on 40km / 900hm.

Upon returning to the hotel, a communal dinner is planned (own expense) where the day's adventures can be discussed.

Niveau check MTB Reizen

Het niveau van een reis hangt samen met jouw beheersing  van de Fundamentele MTB vaardigheden (blauw) en de Techniek (rood).

Foundation

Je beheerst de fundamenten van het mountainbiken als je de volgende technieken met vertrouwen weet toe te passen: Basis-, Aanval- en Flowhouding, effectief remmen en op snelheid kom bochten én platte bochten. Losse ondergrond is geen probleem voor jou en ook rijdt je met vertrouwen over obstakels en rijdt je een rollende drop.

Techniek (Flow en Obstakels)

Met flow technieken weet jij snelheid te behouden én te maken. Snelle bochten heb jij onder controle net als de drop technieken (push en jump). Je maakt lijnkeuzes onder het rijden, gebruikt de Pedal-kick en rijdt Off-Camber. Technische klimmen en afdalingen met scherpe bochten rijdt je met vertrouwen net als sprongen en wortelpassages.

Still having trouble choosing or are you still in doubt? Wij begeleiden jou graag om het meeste uit jouw volgende MTB-reis te halen. Hiervoor hebben wij een duidelijk opbouwend clinic programma ontwikkeld. Hierin zitten natuurlijk de Fundament technieken die zó belangrijk zijn dat je ze écht moet beheersen.
